History of the Faculty
The Faculty of Physics and Mathematics dates back to 1946 when Batumi Pedagogical Institute was established.
As a result of the drastic reforms in 2005 Batumi Shota Rustaveli State University established Faculty of Precise and Technical Sciences on the basis of the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics, headed by the Dean, Associate Professor Lela Turmanidze. Since 2007 another cycle of reforms founded the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Sciences headed by the Dean, Associate Professor Anzor Beridze. Throughout 2010-2013 the Faculty transformed into the Faculty of Education and Sciences, composed of physics, mathematics, computer sciences and other relevant departments, headed by the Dean, Associate Professor Marina Koridze.
In 2013 the academic support of the relevant departments and the efforts of the Rector’s office reformed the Faculty of Education and Sciences into several independent units, while the Faculty of Physics, Mathematics and Computer Sciences re-emerged in the process with the new name, however fully keeping respect to the rich traditions and experience of the predecessor educational and scientific units. The newly-established faculty is administered by the elected Dean, Associate Professor Gulad PARTENADZE.
Faculty of Physics, Mathematics and Computer Sciences combined mathematics, general physics, theoretical physics, applied mathematics and informatics, general technical disciplines over the years.
